My 2005-vintage Palm T|X PDA—the last of its line.

Palm PDAs used a handwriting system called Graffiti. Due to a patent lawsuit, Palm was forced to redesign the Graffiti system, creating Graffiti 2, which the T|X uses.

So here is my T|X, displaying the page that shows how to write letters and a few of the more common punctuation characters in Graffiti 2.

According to the photo's date, does this entry count?

Being in New Zealand GMT + 12 I have fitted in with you guys. Seems the easiest to me if we are all on the same time for these. All it means to me is I can start and end later and that way the messages that say things like "Only 24 hours to go" make sense to me.
I'm simple see ...

I just set one of my extra clocks to UTC, so when I get confused, I can just click the time on the menu bar and up pops local time, UTC and US Pacific time.

The EXIF time can be a little tricky to translate if the time appears close and more so if we're not sure of the time zone or origin. And not a thing wrong with anyone questioning a time, so we can double check.

OK I think we are definitely on time to get this week's show on the road.

My entry also proves that all graffiti is not created by vindictive vandals - some like this and many more, which I will post on my thread, are simply amazing. A true talent in doing this in my opinion.

I got this one off a wall that has been approved for graffiti artists to use by the town council. Unfortunately vandals have defaced these truly amazing works of art and they will all be removed soon.

Very sad that people are motivated simply by the pleasure (sic) of destruction.

Be sure to click on it and view in full screen mode!

A quick edit as I forgot to point out the reflection in the sunglasses - brilliant!

I guess this could in some way qualify for Graffiti. Library Wall got tagged...from the looks of it, it was probably authorized. Ha! This is the only kind of graffiti I will promote.
